Ask Dr. Orloff

What is the difference between intuition and resistance?

Question: How do you tell the difference between protective intuition and a boundary?

Example: Faced with a situation which is new (i.e. I have no
experience of), I may feel my feelings saying 'no' to it. That could be
intuition saying 'Danger! Not good for you', and it could also be just
a natural human reluctance to change - i.e. to try something new...

I run across this and variations on it a lot.

Answer: In general, protective intuitions come from a neutral
place inside, and doesn’t have an intense emotional charge. In my book,
'Guide to Intuitive Healing' I do into detail about fear VS intuition
and give five steps on how and what to listen to with your intuition.
Also do this: If you have any doubt about a situation go into
meditation. Get quiet. Ask yourself, 'Am I scared to go ahead with
this?' Then listen to the inner response. Then ask yourself, 'Is there
real danger here for me?” The tune in again. My sense of you is that
you're ready to begin to explore new relationships and stretch your
heart. This is good. Even if you get hurt--we all do when we risk for
love, friendship, romance, or work--we must feel strong enough to pick
ourselves up again, and keep moving forward with an open heart. Keep
doing work to strengthen your heart so you feel the inner power to
handle anything.
